Eligibility: this program applies to Administrator (exempt/non-faculty) and Staff
(non-exempt) who are in full-time, benefits-eligible positions.

MEDICAL LEAVE WITH PAY: Sick leave and/or short term disability based on the medical condition of giving
birth, is available to any FT administrative or staff pregnant employee. The individual
will be given time off with full pay for the amount of time (generally six to eight
weeks) due to childbirth as certified by a medical care provider via medical documentation.

Birth or adoption of a child qualifies a parent for up to six weeks family leave with
85% pay and full benefits.

Notes for application:

1. Approval of the divisional senior staff member is required.

2. Birth mothers may utilize the family leave program in addition to the short-term
disability/sick leave program.

3. If both parents are employed at Juniata both may exercise their right to utilize
the family leave program. Meaning, both parents may each take up to a six week family
leave with 85% pay and full benefits.

4. The family leave program must be exercised within one year of the birth or adoption.

5. Family leaves exercised under this program will run concurrently with the Family
Medical

Leave Act when applicable, for those who qualify; documentation of birth or adoption
is required in absence of FMLA certification.

Other requests for additional time off will be considered consistent with College
policy and at the discretion of the senior divisional staff member. Refer to relevant
employee handbook for information on other leaves.
